    There is no problem when text align-left but, I can't give space when text align-right.

    Please enable Text->Show special characters. I can't tell from your screencast whether these are all separate lines or whether this is one paragraph.

    If it is one paragraph you shouldn't be able to indent your text on either side of the text box.

    If these are independent lines then this behaviour is consistent with how inDesign works as well.

     

    EDIT:

    Sorry, designer doesn't not have that option (Show Special Characters). But if you have Publisher you could try to open it in Publisher and then my suggestion of enamelling special characters would shed some more light on it.

    Is there a way to import so that existing styles that I have designed within Publisher will automatically be applied to what I import?

    Your best bet at the moment is to use Find and Replace facility from within Publisher to find styles you assigned in a Word processing app and replace it with styles you created in Publisher. Unless you have hundreds of styles this should not be that much of a problem.

    Publisher is not smart enough to assign styles available in Publisher with the style names imported from external sources. I hope you are aware that Publisher can import .docx files as well.

    After formatting an entire 60,000 word book in my word processing program, I'm supposed to go through it line by line to add the proper styles – essentially formatting the entire thing again? No way!

    If you formatted your document using Paragraph Styles and Character Styles you don't need to do it again.

    All styles are copied over to Publisher and you can continue editing your project from there.

    For me, style management is a really fundamental issue, which still prevents me from managing a job in Publisher. The style that activates to a certain glyph or a certain sequence of elements... nested styles, grep styles, or any other shape you can invent to handle the same issue is an essential element. There are no problems for simple texts, as long as you have a title and text with some italics, but it's never that simple. I encourage Affinity to take this approach. It doesn't have to be ghreous or nested style, but to have the same effect. I can't wait to use Publisher without limitations. Unfortunately yesterday for this reason I had to redo a work that became unmanageable and very long without a programmed management of styles. As soon as I can gladly use Affinity programs and I always try to see if I can do what I have in mind with Affinity.

    Unless you post examples of where Publishers Styles don't work for you at the moment your post is useless.

    Is there a way? I would be glad to hear about it!

    II don't know of a way to search in a selection.

    This is an all or nothing action at the moment, I'm afraid.

    A workaround is to copy your selection to a temporary document, perform find and replace and paste it back.

    We all hope for great improvements in this area in the future.

    Import / Export

    Just tested Publisher to open a particular IDML file created in inDesign.

    Earlier Publisher betas would crash on opening this particular IDML file.

    This time Publisher opened it without any problems. I also  measured, however imperfectly, the time taken to open this file by both Publisher and inDesign.

    Publisher opened that file in 5 seconds whereas inDesign opened it in 53 seconds.

    So the improvements are really great. Thank you.

    What I am trying to do is paste rich text into my Publisher document and then apply my body style without losing italic and bold text.

    I suggest to create Italic and Bold Character Styles (and any other Character Styles that you want to preserve).

    Then search for italics, bolds in your text using Find & Replace command in Affinity Publisher and replace them with Italic, Bold Character Styles.

    Once you do that you can then start applying your Paragraph Styles to your text and all your italic and bold instances will be preserved.

    You can then redefine your Character and Paragraph Styles as you wish.

    Most likely, the fix would be to stop a document from being embedded/linked into itself.

    If there is an issue with this workflow it should be fixed. It would be a great pity if this was disallowed/disabled.

    There is nothing wrong with this workflow. The document on those pages is not being edited but simply viewed which means it is Read Only.

    Just because inDesign doesn't do it this it should not be allowed here.
